The manager's pocket guide to Generation X

Based on Bruce Tulgan's classic study of Generation X in the workplace, Managing Generation X, as well as his ongoing research into the working lives of people born after 1963, The Manager's Pocket Guide to Generation X is a concise, hands-on guide that will enable managers to recruit, train, motivate, develop, and retain the best and brightest among Generation X employees. Learn from the first-hand stories of X'ers describing their own positive and negative work experiences with management. The Manager's Pocket Guide to Generation X explains in simple terms what makes Gen X employees different, and outlines how you can put their unique skills and characteristics to work on behalf of your organization.
